After a prestigious conference last week (see 
http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/birmingham/2008/06/401910.html), the International Organisation against Migrants, aka the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), has opened a new office in Birmingham (details below). The intergovernmental agency is apparently growing bigger and more 'efficient' as the government is stepping up its deportation plans. In addition to its UK head office in London, IOM has offices Bristol, Glasgow and Liverpool, and has recently open a new office in Leeds. It is further planning to open two new sub-offices, one is known to be in Peterborough.
Let's tell them they are not welcome here, in Birmingham, or anywhere else!
